Ngarita Johnstone, Embroidery on linen. ΢ҕl/MBL/2270

As part of her embroidery training at the Canterbury College School of Arts, Ngarita Johnstone was required to complete a variety of objects and patterns. This place setting is delicately embroidered with red and orange thread, alternating between a decorative red cross and an orange candelabra-shaped pattern, framed both inside and out by a linear interlocking border. Its shape and size imply that it is a place setting at a table, and would have been designed to be one of a set (likely of six or eight). It is embroidered on thick linen much like that in Johnstone’sAssisi Tablecloth,which could possibly be ScottishglamisԱ.
